Police are searching for a man who fled a traffic stop

(Gillette, Wyo.) Sunday night, Gillette police attempted to stop a group of
bikers on 9th street after one of the men was allegedly seen throwing a
cigarette on to the road. The biker refused to stop for police and sped off
towards Gurley Avenue.
One of the other bikers he was with, John Adams, stopped for officers but
didn't tell them much. He allegedly had alcohol on his breath, and admitted
to drinking. He failed a field sobriety test and his breathalyzer showed a
.11 blood alcohol level. He was arrested for DUI.
Police continued to try and stop the other biker who had sped off from the
stop. A second patrol unit reportedly clocked him going 60 on Warlow Drive,
which is a 40 mph zone. The second officer also tried to stop the biker,
who continued to flee from police.
A motorcycle was found on west Warlow Drive. A 44 year old man was found in
the area but there was no evidence he was the biker who had fled.
A witness later contacted the police department and confirmed he was the
correct suspect. He now has citations awaiting him for two counts of
eluding, throwing a burning substance on the road, no proof of insurance,
and speeding.
